The rumors respecting Mr.. SANKEY'S death
were so generally dscredited that the latest
adviccs from him showing progress in his Journey
toward Wadeai excite no surprise. On June 10
he was at Aruwimi falls or rapids about ninety
miles from the Congo. and was preparing to
march overland $50 or 400 miles to the relief
Of Emin Bey. His original plan contemplated a
march TO the Albert Lake, whence he expected
TO reach Wadelai by Emins steamers Subse-
quenty he spoke of avoiding the lake and heading
directly for Wadelai. Probably his course will
lie shaped by circumstances and his relations with
the tribes in that unknown stretch of country.
4 month at least must elapse before decisive news
Of his success or failure can fairly be expected.

Sportsmen and those who seek the easy
freedom of camp-life will not be pleased with
the transformation going on in the Adiron-
dacks. Their haunts are being invaded by
tourists, fashionable cottages and hotels are
multiplying, and land formerly used for camp
ing purposes is being sold at the rate OF 500
an acre. Still the Wilderness is extensive,
and there is room enough there for both classes
for some time to come. An interesting letter
ON the subject will be found on the ninth
page of to-day's TRIBUNE.
The National Guardsmen of to-day have adj
vantages in the way of training unknown 10
their predecessors. The State Camp at Peeks-
kill, which closed yesterday, has furnished the
militia of this State with an opportunity OF
doing much of the work they would have
to perform IN case of actual war. The Pennsyl
vania militia, which has just gone into camp
10000 strong, will have similar experience.
This is fortunate for the Nation, for the reason
that in case of war the militia would be the
mainstay of the country, The National Gov
eminent does not do its share in maintaining
the militia, though O small increase was made
by the last Congress in the annual appropria-
ton.

ment and the people were
robbed not only OF millions of money
but OF the best portion of the public do
main. Whether or not prosecutions for
oorruption could be sustained at this
late day, there is no doubt that suit
should be brought against Gould, Hunt
ingdon, Stanford, sidney Dillon and
others, to recover the millions of money
out OF which they swindled the gov
eminent IN the manipulation of the
Pacific railroad committees. The Pacific
railroad commission is getting at the
bottom facts, and thus is laying bare
the processes OF these monstrous frauds
upon the country. The committees

The newspapers of Dakota have now
nearly exhausted themselves in dealing
eut criticism against Secretary MoOor-
mack for delay in issuing the laws OF
1887 and for finally issuing them in
cheap binding. The Press and Dako-
taian is better able 20 testify under.
standingly upon this subject than any
other newspaper in Dakota, for the
reason that every volume of Dakota
laws up to the volume OF 1887 was print {.
ed at this Office. Secretary Mccormack
Is IN no way responsible for these de.
linauencies. He is merely the agent oil
a department at Washington and is
compelled to await the red tape move
ments OF department officials in every
stage of the, work. He cannot even
complete contract for printing the
laws until it has gone through the mill
at Washington and he has no choice as
to the style of paper, printing or bind
ing or the number Of volumes to be
issued. The general government pays
for this work and preseTibes ell the
rules and regulations in connection
Herewith. Unless these Requirements
are complied with to the letter the de.
partment will refuse to pay for the
printing and the binding and the
secretary will have to settle
the best ne can with the pubic printers.
This is one OF the innumerable edvan,.
tages OF territorial condition. While
the newspapers OF Dakota are giving
vent to their dispIeasures over long de.
lay in issuing the volume for 1887 and
while they are perhaps Justly cyitioisine
the appearance Of the work, they should
place the blame where ii belongs. II
certainly should not be charged MP
against the secretary. of the territory,
who can do no more than follow the di-
rections OF his superiors.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press advises
the democratic administration to admit
its errGr in the case OF the payment Of
the expenses of the public examiner out
of the insane hospital fund and correct
its "malfeasance" by turning the money
back into the fund and drawing the
amount due from the proper fund. The
question is, can malfeasance be cured
by such process? Would the william
who burglarized melon patch become
exempt from punishment il he climbed
back over the fence and replaced the
melon? He could not re-attach it to it's
parent vine, so the restoration wonld
net he complete. And in the interval
OF absolute possession surreptitiously
acquired he may have plugged the
melon and destroyed its future useful
ness. We do not know that the public
examiner has yet made hole in the
fund he illegally plucked from the in
sane asJ INN vine, but the chances are
he has. 1t is worthy of further obserya-
tion that no great newspaper has rec
commended that the insane
hospital trustees be permitted
to replace funds from which they
borrowed to fill the emptiness of other
funds. No suspension ofpublic opinion
is asked in their case. Why should 1t be
solicited in behalf of an erring public
examiner /?

CAuGHTA VERY QUEER FISH.

The Amazing Slight Which Frightened
Chief Aaweah Nearly Out OF his wits,
San Jose Herald: Bank Commissio oner
Potts, of Los Angeles, had an amusing
experience in the gold times OF Cali
fornia. The story,as told runs as follows:
In the early days of the gold excite.
ment. before many of the young men OF
the present day were born, MIR. Potts
and his partner, both miners. put their
heads together and decided that there
was probably gold at the head waters OF
the San Joakuin. They thought il
would be we'll to investigate the matter.
and accordingly they set out. In due
time they arrived at their destination.
They discovered deep hole in the
bed of one of the forks, and they con-
cludss that II there was gold anywhere
IN the bed OF the stream it was in that
hole. They tried diving to reach the
bottom, but 1t was too deep, and they
found themselves in dilemma. MIR.
Potts' partner bethough him OF diving
suit IN San Francisco that he could pro-
cure, and the decision was reached that
ne go and bring it,. This he did, arriy-
ing with it after time.
Those who have seen a diving suit are
aware of the frightful appearance of a
man arrayed in it, The front OF the
headpiece is large circular pane of
glass that gives the wearer the appear
ance OF hideous Cyolops. From the
top OF the head runs rubber tube for
supplying air to the diver, and there is
also rope attached for hauling him up.
Mr.. Potts partner arrayed himself in
the suit. Lying acrcss the hole was q
fallen tree, and Mr.. Potts aud his part.
ner walked ont upon the log and the
partner slipped down into the water and
was INSTANTLY out Of sight, Mr.. Potte
holding the rope by which to haul him
up. The agreed signal was q jerk on the
rope.
While Mr.. Potts was thus sitting on
the log and holding the rope he ap-
peared to be fishing with stout line
for big fish. He was thus engaged when
Chief Kaweah and his ssuaw came down
from the mountains, where they had
been gathering nuts. He stopped and
thus addressed Mr. Potts:
.You ketchum fish ?"
+ The old chief was evidently much in
terested in the scene, and without more
ado he sauatted on the bank and await
ed developments, his numerous wives
quietly following his example.
Pretty soon there came Jerk ON the
rope that rlppled the surfsce OF the
water. KaweRh became greatly evcitei
when he saw Mr.. Potts pulling heavily
on the line, and the old chief got to his
feet and watched the procedure with the
deepest interest,". Presently the monster
OF the deep came to the surface, with its
bideous Cycleopean eye turned in Ea.
weah's direction.
"UghP shouted the warrior, and then
he and his hsrem turned tail and fled
panic-stricken over the plains.

tbs not best for the public to lose
sight OF the insurance transaction by
Governor Church in which law of the
territory was openly violated for no
other apparent reason than the eoncen-
tration of patronage within gubernatori-
al disposal. This violation OF law stands
out more prominently because the gov
ernor seems disposed to enforce teohni-
cal compliance with every statutory Sec
tion to which the republican side of his
administration is exposed. The law of
the territory relative to the insurance Of
public buildings prescribes
that trustees OF institutions
shall cause to be insured public property
under their charge, submitting the sell
cotton OF companies to the approval of
the governor. This was done. Instead
of approving or disappearing selections
made the governor took the entire mat
ter out OF the hands of the trustees, sell
ected the companies himself and placed
the insurance himself through one agen-
cy. This was usurpation of authority.
The law also preseribes that warrants In
payment for insurance shall be issued
upon the vouchers of trustees, and in no
other way. II the insurance has been
paid for the warrants were issued in vio-
lation of this law, another unsurpation
of authority. II Governor Church ex-
poets his subjects to obey the law he
should set the example.
